Hi jmp. Volkswagen Credit's April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Tiguan SEL with 10,000 miles per year are .00002 and 52%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Here's the information that you're looking for p1dallas. Volkswagen Credit's April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Tiguan SE with sunroof, navigation and 15,000 miles per year are .00022 and 52%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

VW is providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of this truck right now.

The Edmund's lease calculator (and when I do the math myself) tell me this should be $396 a month, including tax.

1. Where is the dealer getting this different amount?2. Are the residual and money factor correct for May?

Also, another dealer has an ad for $327 for an SEL 4Motion with Nav (not a necessity for me) with zero down, i.e. before my trade. Their dealer fee is $1200, rather than $699 (the first dealership), with a doc fee of $375, as opposed to the $399 doc fee from the first dealership. The fees are NOT rolled into the quoted $420 a month. Is it even possible to get this car for $327 a month with zero down?

I really want/need full power seats, auto lights, and the auto dimming mirror that only the SEL has. I'm trading in a 1996 that has all of those, so I would hope that a car that is 16 years newer would have it, but I might have to go with the SE with the sunroof and navigation at this high price. Thanks for your help!

Hi ashleigh919. The money factor that you were quoted for this truck is actually slightly high. VW Credit's current buy rate for a 39-month lease of a 2012 Tiguan SEL is only .00051. Make sure that the dealer uses this factor to calculate your payment.

Using the numbers that you mentioned in your post, I come up with a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $371. I doubt that it is possible to get this vehicle for $327 per month with nothing down.

I am looking for the current residual and money factor for a 2012 Tiguan SEL w/premium Nav (no Dynaudio) at 39 month lease and 12,000 miles.

Also, do you know when these figures are expected to change? Is it monthly? I am trying to take advantage of the $2,000 lease incentive on this vehicle, but inventory seems limited on the color we want, so we may wait until a later time.

Hi skizza. Volkswagen Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2012 Tiguan SEL Premium with 12,000 miles per year are .00045 and 49%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hi galuchjr. The lease program that you mentioned looks good to me. It's great that you have the selling price of this truck...that is a very important number. However, it is difficult for me to evaluate without having something to compare it with, either the MSRP or invoice price. Let me know what one of these numbers is and I'll gladly tell you what I think.

I'd be happy to take a look at this deal, dju. Let me begin by saying that the money factor that you were quoted is a slightly high. VW Credit's current buy rate lease money factor for a 39-month lease of a 2012 Tiguan SE is only .00056 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. Make sure that the dealer uses this factor to calculate your vehicle's payment.

As far as the selling price goes, there is around a $1,200 or so spread between this truck's MSRP and dealer invoice price plus another $1,000 cash incentive on leases of it, giving you a total of around $2,200 to play with. The $1,780 discount that you were quoted looks pretty good to me.

Just make sure to address the money factor issue and you should be all set.

Hi Tom. Volkswagen Credit's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Tiguan S 4Motion with 10,000 miles per year are .00008 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Volkswagen is currently providing a $750 cash incentive on leases of this truck through VW Credit.

Thanks Car Man. A few more questions. What does VW define as top tier credit. How is money factor affected if your credit score is between 650-700? For a 12,000 mile per year lease, what is the money factor & residual?

You're welcome Tom. That's an excellent question about the credit tiers. I'm not sure exactly what the cutoff is for Volkswagen Credit's A Tier is, but you're probably close. I'm guessing that is' somewhere in the low 700s. You may end up being B Tier.

The money factor is exactly the same for a lease with 12,000 miles per year, but the residual value would be 2% higher.

Hi ishwardin. I love Richmond. What a beautiful area. Let's take a look at this deal.

The dealer invoice price for the model that you're interested in is $34,295. If we subtract the $1,000 regional cash incentive from that it drops to $33,295. The selling price that you were quoted is still even lower than that, which is a very good deal. Man, VW dealers are certainly being aggressive lately. Most of the deals that I've seen have been below invoice. No wonder VW sales have exploded.

The .00028 money factor that you were quoted is right on the money as well.

If you like the Tiguan, I personally don't see any reason not to go for it.
